TASCAM DR-10 CS Lapel Microphone Recorders
The DR-10C-series recorders connect to your lavaliere microphone to create a compact recording system that fits on a belt pack. The DR-10CS is designed for use with Sennheiser microphones.
The DR-10C recorders have both inputs and outputs, so they can either be used standalone or with a wireless transmitter. When used with a transmitter, the unit acts as a backup to protect against wireless dropouts during recording. For lectures or worship services, the DR-10C can record the entire program before it gets to the front of house system. And for events like weddings and reality TV production, the DR-10C is a compact recording system for body mics.
The lightweight DR-10CS runs for hours on a single AAA battery. It records to standard microSD media. Recording features include auto-gain and a low-cut filter for simple setup. Its Dual Recording feature records a safety track of your audio at a lower level, so in case of distortion you have a non-clipped backup.
The DR-10CS recorder can be connected between the microphone and a transmitter of a wireless system from a supported manufacturer. Connect the mic to the recorder and use the included cable to connect it to the transmitter. This setup is perfect for use as a backup recorder – assuring the capture of audio should the signal sent through the wireless system be interrupted.
